Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber has approached Nicole Scherzinger to be a judge on his ITV search for Jesus Christ Superstar.

He recently persuaded her to perform the part of Christine at the Royal Variety Performance accompanied by three Phantoms and she was one of the highlights singing the part perfectly.

Steve Balsamo, who starred in the West End production of Jesus Christ Superstar in the 90’s has already been confirmed as a judge, and Lord Lloyd Webber has met with Nicole in London several times to discuss the possibility of her joining the panel.

It's believed that Lloyd Webber has already cast Nicole as Mary Magdalene in the film adaptation of the show.
